Summary

Host Sarah Cailean continues to unravel the details of the case of Misty Copsey. When a former investigator reveals that the only evidence in the case – a pair of jeans, socks and underwear found months later along the side of a highway – may not have belonged to Misty, Sarah’s entire understanding of the case is thrown into question. Sarah sits down with local investigative reporter Sean Robinson to discuss. If these clothes weren’t Misty’s, why was Misty’s mother adamant that they were? And if they were Misty’s, what new layers does that add to this decades-old mystery?
